Recipes from Nature

Who's ready to come over for some of our nature inspired recipes?
This particularly yummy looking concoction the kids recently made is their very own version of  'Cake and Apple Pie'. When I suggested we call it 'stone soup' I was told, "hula hoops are pie pans and you CAN'T make soup in pie pans!" (Duh, everyone knows that!)

So I asked about the ingredients and this led to writing the recipe out. Now we can remember how to make it again! Don't you just love the added illustrations!

Sensory Play Recipes

The best sensory play occurs in nature...but when you need to create some indoor sensory fun these are the best links that I have found.

There are enough recipes here to provide an entire childhood (or even whole lifetime) of messy sensory play!    
Enjoy!  ~April

Are stickers considered sensory play? I think so if the child has to spread a jello solution to make them! This sounds like a lot of fun...can't wait to try it myself.  http://www.icanteachmychild.com/2011/01/diy-lick-and-stick-stickers.html
